My Review:

Claire Douglas has written another fantastic book which is really thrilling, deliciously creepy and utterly brilliant.

From the start I was drawn into the story with a fantastic opening chapter.  The general atmosphere in the book makes you think anything could happen at any time which kept me on my toes.  The pace is quite fast from the beginning and got faster throughout the book as the story progressed.

As I might have mentioned I love the idea of starting anew somewhere and running a B&B really appeals to me so I felt for Kirsty when her dreams started to go wrong.  The fact she tries hard to hold everything together and keep everyone happy made me warm to her as did her obvious love for her kids.  I found myself hoping for a good ending for her even though I had a feeling early on that this wouldn’t happen.

The book goes back and forth between time periods, gradually building up a picture of the characters and their history.  There were lots of twists and turns which definetly kept me on my toes as some were very unexpected.

This is the fifth book by this author and the fifth I’ve read.  I’m so excited that her stories keep getting better and better.

Huge thanks to Katie from Michael St Joseph for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour. If you like fast paced, creepy thrillers you’ll love this book.
